    Loadent got a reaction from Votivee in LG 1080P monitor looks worse on PC than PS3. Why?   
    I wouldn’t  be surprised if scaling has increased to 125 or 150%. Check that too and refresh rate while your there

    Loadent reacted to MeatFeastMan in RTX 2080 vs TITAN Xp - Which one to go with?   
    8gb isn't safe at 1440p, just like 6gb doesn't look safe at 1080p. That's why at 1440p I always recommend Vega over stuff like the 2060 and even the 2070, just because it has 8gb but also HBCC to give it a bit more firepower to play with.
     
    Yes games aren't really at 8gb at 1440p yet, but recent games are getting close. 2 years down the line and we'll start seeing significant stutters.
     
    Don't risk it. Titan XP is a much better option, even if it is used. Radeon VII is another you should consider alongside the 2080 and titan.

    Older gen hardware doesn't support hardware raid of NVMe drives, even Threadripper didn't until recently.

    Loadent got a reaction from CubisticWings4 in GPU usage super low but spikes occur freezing me for 1-2 seconds   
    Just note, that power supplied is right at its max with your system. Any overclock, extra drivers, lights etc will push it.
     
    You may have a lack of power. 650-750.
     
    If you are overclocking the CPU, the GPU may not have enough power to pull.
     
    Sometimes overclocking may seem stable, but cause farting stutters like that.

    There was a rumour that suggested that when released they did not have enough 4gb cards so they used the 8gb and the bios limited it to 4gb. Never heard of it more then once or twice.

    No you mentioned it. Just others didn’t read your post completely. I would go used 1080ti if you can. Here in Canada you can find them at 1/2 the price as a new rtx 2080

    Loadent got a reaction from Macboi in Is SLI support declining?   
    I try not to weigh in on such threads as the usually become heated and very opinionated. And name calling or judging just happens.
     
    From the enthusiast point of view, (mine) we like to tinker and make thinks work. Like SLI. Over 300+ games in my steam, origin, GOG, etc.
    And many support SLI, official or not.
     
    My first crossfire were space heaters (ATI 4870's) and the power draw was so high through the pcie slot, it melted my 24 pin connector to my motherboard.
    I have since, ran CF AMD 280's, SLI GTX 680'x, 970's, 980'x, 1080's and now 1080ti's.
    (btw I also have 2 teenagers that game).
     
    Our house has 5960x, 5930k, 980x, 4790k, Q9550 and a few apple products. 2-PG278Qs 2560x1440p 144hz, 1 Omen X 35 3440x1440 100hz, 1 32" 4K. and a HTC Vive. 3 - 24" Samsung on a racing rig.
     
    A lot of money dumped into hardware over the years just to get the best experience I can. I will have more fun in an evening tinkering and trying to beat my benchmark scores then playing games. Just the way I am. But our family's hobby is ours, and nobody can say it is wrong.
     
    All of my friends and family come to us for suggestions on what hardware of this or that, video cards, hard drives, repairs etc.
     
    AND NONE OF THEM RUN HARDWARE LIKE OURS. They end up buying the i3s, i5s,1050/1050ti/1060. Or even lesser of cards. Because that's all they need.
     
    Will nvidia continue SLI, damn straight. Why? To keep people like us on these forums interested and engaged. They sell more cards through our (me and all of you) recommendations. And none of us recommend SLI to those who don't need it or will have any fun with it.
     
    Last year the 1080 was all that was needed to max out 1080p but as displays are growing and get more pixels. The standard will change, in 5 more years, more and more people will have 4k displays, higher refresh rates. ummmmmm 65" 4K HDR 144HZ. Couch gaming like that is going to be awesome.
     
     The 1080ti can't do it alone. Nor can 2. SLI has always been a small market, always will be. IF a single card works for you great, but for may it does not. As DX12 develops, we all hope they can get multi gpu working, not SLI, but guess what, still means two cards.
     
    Last point, there us a few you tube videos out there to watch which support my point (and experience).
    This does not apply to all games, but a good many that support SLI.
     
    If you SLI 2 cards and run 1080p to try to get 200+fps, you get a damn mess and a ton of micro stutters.
    SLI 2 cards at 4K (or more with DSR) for 60-100+fps, works great, butter smooth and limited stutters or jitters that can happen on single cards.
     
    Marketing alone wont sell more cards. Nvidia doesn't advertise on TV, Radio or even the super bowl. Its the experience that sells.
     
    Just my opinion.
     
    Just wanted to add, I haven't purchased NEW hardware since I built my 2008 Q9550 rig. All has been purchased used and 30-50% new price. (including my monitors and vive)
     So it can be DEFIENTLY worth going SLI. I wouldn't purchase 2 new 1070's for SLI. But used is a very different price to performance ratio.

    Loadent got a reaction from Froody129 in 70-90 FPS stuttering, 60 and 100+ smooth.   
    Go to your 3d settings in nvidia control panel and change the vsync setting to FAST.
     
    NOT ON, just fast. Try it. it will still produce every frame, but drop those that can't be displayed by your monitor/tv. Very small bit of latency, but its as close you can get without enabling vsync, or buying a gsync monitor.
     
    I know you said your dead set against limiting your FPS.
     
    Just try it, you may be surprised.

    Dont worry. If you oc that I7 920 to around 3.6-4 GHz, then you will be just fine with that GTX 1050 TI.
     
    For until at the begining this year i ran a I7 920 @ 4 GHz and games ran brilliant with two GTX 970 in SLI. Now i have I7 980X @ 4.3 GHz and a GTX 1080 TI. That is a freaking awesome setup.
     
    Take a look here for inspiration. But for saving some money get a 6 core Xeon in sted of I7 6 core cpu. Xeon models like X5650/5660 are way cheaper and overclock more or less just as good.

    That monitor list as free sync. But I only read English. As a gsync user, I own 2 pg278qr 165hz. Totally worth it in my opionion. No screen tearing or studdering. However, nvidia cards now have a new option for vsync. It used to be on or off, on lock at 60 and no screen tearing but maybe studdering if it misses a frame and higher input latency. New vsync options are fast renders all frames but drops incomplete frames before it hits the monitor. Next best without gsync. I use it on my 4K tv and works great.
